Granted: 1899-01-14
Abstract: 24,725. Barns, W. C. Nov. 23. Oil filters.-The apparatus consists of two parts, the receiver A, and the filter proper B into the top of which it fits. The heavier impurities settle and are retained by absorbent material in the bottom of the receiver A, and the oil then passes by the pipes a<3> and d to the chamber e<1>, and thence to the compartments b<1>, b<2>, &c. containing cotton waste or o t h e r suitable material, rising through one and descending through the next until it reaches the reservoir b<3>. The receiver A may be divided into a number of compartments, each of which communicates with a corresponding set of the compartments b<1>, b<2>, &c., so that different oils may be filtered simultaneously. A gauge glass i is provided recessed within the reservoir b<3>.

Title: Improvements in Cash Registers.
Inventor: WOOD MARSHALL GEORGE
Filed: 1899-07-05
Granted: 1900-04-14
Abstract: 13,897. Wood, M. G. July 5. Receipts, checking and recording.-Relates to the type of cash register in which the amount of a transaction is written on a paper strip g through a slot b in a window c, and the apparatus is then swung round to the customer, the entry being moved under the glass by this action. The casing a, d of the apparatus, which is normally held by a spring f so that the window c faces the customer, is mounted on a fixed pedestal e<1> and turns about it. The strip g is placed in a roll at the bottom of the casing, and its end is carried under the tension spring h over the table i and feed-roller j to the winding-on roller k, which is mounted in guide-bearings l and rotated by frictional contact with the rubber face of the feedroller. On the roller j is a ratchet-wheel n engaged by a pawl p which is carried by the lever o. A spring s tends to rock the lever o backwards, but is normally prevented from so doing by a pin q engaging a fixed stop t. When a transaction takes place, the shopman turns the casing half round, and writes the details through the window b, the pawl p travelling idly over the wheel n. On the return of the casing, under the action of the spring f, the pawl p rotates the ratchet-wheel and feeds the strip from the slit b to beneath the glass c.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Picking Straps of Looms.
Inventor: HOFFMANN OSWALD
Filed: 1900-06-15
Granted: 1901-05-11
Abstract: 10,938. Hoffmann, O. June 15. Loom picking-straps.-The strap a is made endless, either before or at the time that it is attached to the picker e and picking-stick b. It is looped to the picker or secured thereto in the manner shown in Fig. 1, and is wrapped in a spiral fashion round the stick b and secured thereto by a cord c. The effective length of the strap is therefore adjustable, and, when the strap becomes worn either near the picker, or the picking-stick, by loosening the loop or other fastening near the picker, the position of the strap may be changed with regard to the picker and the loop of the fastening-cord c so as to bring the stronger parts of the strap into the positions which are exposed to the greatest wear. The invention may be applied to underpick looms, in which case the strap may be provided at intervals with apertures, through which screws may be passed for securing the strap in position.

Granted: 1900-08-11
Abstract: 11,223. MacDonald, P. J. June 20. Gauge - glass fittings.- At the top of the upper fitting is placed, at rightangles to the gauge-glass 10, a cylinder 11 which, by means of a pipe 12, is in communication with the glass. A spring- pressed piston in this cylinder is normally held by the steam pressure, so that the end of its rod 14 engages the upper lever 27 of a lever and link mechanism 27, 28, 29 and holds open the cocks 16, 17.

Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 13,141. Kessler, H. July 20. Pumping-engines; compound engines; starting. - Consists of means for obtaining the proper initial pressure in the low - pressure cylinder of a duplex direct-acting pump. A differential piston valve H, H<1>, having the ratio between its pistons the same as that between the main pistons, is exposed on its smaller end to steam from the high-pressure valve-cheat by the pipe I, I<2>, and on its larger end to steam from the low-pressure chest by the hole G. When the latter pressure becomes too low, the valve is forced down, admitting high-pressure steam to the low-pressure chest by the ports J, K. When the valve is depressed, as just described, its larger end seats on a valve seat round the hole G. The annular space between the two pistons H, H<1> is connected by a pipe 0 to the condenser.

Abstract: 15,939. Tyler, J. L. March 2, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Mitering; planing.-Relates to a machine for mitering and trimming wood. Fig. 1 shows a plan. The knives or cutters 4 are mounted at right-angles on the vertical slide 3, which is reciprocated by the handle 8, acting through the rack 6 and pinion 7. The wood to be mitered &c. is placed on the table 1 against one of the adjustable fences 11. These fences are made to turn on centres, a short distance apart, and placed below the table so as not to interfere with the movement of the cutters. The periphery of the table is graduated so that the fences can be set at the required angle. The fences 11 are not mounted directly on the table, but on a slide 10 working in guides in the table, by which means the fences can be adjusted at the required distance from the reciprocating cutters. A gauge 40 to determine the thickness of the cut is mounted on the slide 3, and an attachment 33 may be made to the fence 11 to give additional support to the wood.

Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 5440. Plews, A. S. March 14. Antimony oxide.-Relates to a process of treating ores containing antimony and gold. The ore is treated in a suitable furnace in which the flame can be made into an oxidizing or a reducing one at will. The ore is first heated in an oxidizing- flame, and the fumes of antimony oxide given off are collected in suitable depositing-chambers. The ore is then treated in a reducing-flame to reduce antimony compounds to metal, which is then again oxidized and driven off. To obtain a pure oxide of antimony, two sets of depositing-chambers are employed, and the oxide given off in the oxidizing-flame is collected separately.
